Does Your 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander Suspension Need Inspection?

When you first drove your 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Outlander jolts, leans to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander, bring it in for suspension and steering service. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shocks, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering system parts. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your Outlander suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If your Outlander steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend a wheel alignment since replacing steering and suspension parts can change existing wheel angles and ride height.

Mitsubishi Outlander Replacement Shocks & Struts

Your 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander’s suspension system relies on its shocks and struts to function properly. They contribute to your car’s handling, keeping it from bottoming out when the road gets bumpy. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These components work together to limit vibration and keep your Mitsubishi up off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander’s shocks and struts replaced since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, side-to-side swaying, or rocking forward and backward can all point to issues with your Mitsubishi Outlander shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Outlander’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 2009 Mitsubishi Outlander Steering & Suspension

  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Mitsubishi's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Mitsubishi Outlander? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that the tires connect with the road how Mitsubishi intended.
  • When should I have my Mitsubishi Outlander power steering fluid checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Outlander’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Mitsubishi's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why is my Mitsubishi Outlander bouncing so much? If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Outlander to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Outlander's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Outlander when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Mitsubishi Outlander need replacing? Worn Outlander shock absorbers can't effectively absorb road impacts. Your Outlander might feel like it's swaying or rolling when making a turn. You may also feel like your Outlander shakes or rocks harder than normal when you go over a minor bump.
